Bernoulli and Virtua Health Win BI&T’s Best Research Paper of 2017 for Sleep Apnea Surveillance Paper

Bernoulli is honored that the editorial board from Biomedical Instrumentation & Technology (BI&T), the peer-reviewed journal for Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI), has awarded a writing team from Bernoulli and Virtua Health with Best Research Paper of 2017 for their publication: “Continuous Surveillance of Sleep Apnea Patients in a Medical-Surgical Unit.” The research paper was published in the May/June 2017 issue of BI&T. According to the BI&T editorial board, “This paper is an important contribution to the literature on safe and effective methods for detecting opioid-induced respiratory depression.”

Bernoulli CEO Janet Dillione says in a release, “We celebrate this award with Virtua Health. Together, we’re working hard to help educate hospitals and healthcare providers on not only the dangers of opioid-induced respiratory depression (OIRD), but also the real opportunity to mitigate that risk using Bernoulli’s real-time clinical surveillance as this research shows. We are proud to be helping healthcare providers improve patient safety. Nothing is more important than that.”
